Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Whats in a name you ask? |
If we’re going to be strict about it, jellyfish and starfish are not really fish because they don’t have a backbone. As a correction, many public aquariums are now using the terms “sea jellies” and “sea stars”. |

Even Catfish are finicky |
Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

Jan 4, 2004; 08:18PM - Power Drop -Shot Tactic
|
Category: Freshwater Bass Fishing Tips
|
Author Name: Steve S&K Guide Service

Tip&Trick Description 1:
We have been using a Power Drop Shot technique that you may have heard of, and it works great in Heavy Cover, and around docks and wood in rivers and lakes. We just rig a heavy weight of 3/8 to 3/4 of an ounce, and then tie on the bait, such as a Yamamoto 'IKA' tube about 10 inches up the line on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, and flip and pitch it right in the same way as a jig or other bait. It stays there longer and has more action. Deadly on in-active fish.

When only the best will do! A perfect fit: measured, tucked, darted and approved by Hurricane's own pattern and design craftsman. Vulnerable wear and stress points are double reinforced with an extra tough material sewn to the underside of the cover. An unbreakable 1/4' poly draw rope sewn with the perimeter hem enables the cover to be cinched tight to the hull. 1' poly loops are sewn around the perimeter of the cover to accept a Hurricane strap/buckle tie down kit, bungee cords, or rope ties for positive securing to the boat. Built tough to take the exposure and abuse that boat covers are exposed to when trailering, storing, or mooring.

Jun 19, 2005; 10:00AM - Triple Digit Summer Time Tuna

The fishing offshore has been very good this past week. With Friday being the best. The grasslines have been scattered so we haven't caught many dolphin since last Wed. But overall the tuna fishing has made up for it. Yesterday we had Ken Boudreaux and friends from Baton Rouge. When I woke up yesterday morning and checked the radar I figured we might be in for somewhat of a rainy day but the forecast was still calling for 1-2's. The ride out was good and our first stop produced a double hook-up on yellowfin tuna. Both about 60lbs. One was tagged so the angler should be calling it in. If I hear back from him I will post where he was tagged. A double hook up within 15 seconds then turned into a dead zone. Headed further out and immediately once we got to our spot we had another double hook-up. But, it only produced 1 140lb. yellowfin tuna. This brute ate both baits with a hook in it so, he never stood a chance. This is the best way to get a big fish like this in quick. I have seen it happen before and the anglers look like they are in a ballet. One pulls up and the other goes down to take in line in complete synchronization. From the side it looks like they are doing a dance step. I made them stand together and get in rythm, and sure enough they smoked him. But he was green at the gaff which made for a little excitement. But the fish bat took care of that. That was it for the day, the weather turned windy and cloudy, we headed back to north and fished a few more spots and called it a day before the next squall came through. Looks like the weather may turn rough this Mon. or Tues. all depending on the low moving into the Gulf. We do have Wed. and Thurs. of this week open if anyone wants it.
